I like this pic because it really shows my personality. A wrinkly super hero cut off, messy car full of boxes, stringy ponytail, and a big honkin smile because I don’t quite have it together, but I’m genuinely happy. And I have everything I need. I try to look cool on social media sometimes😂it’s kinda entertaining. But This, this is me. And for the people who can’t stand to see me smile..... 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

Happy Thursday friends! Another gloomy day has me all 😴 and tired. Patiently waiting for sunshine ☀️ I usually love rainy days but when it has been raining all week, I can’t help but feel the need for some vitamin d! How’s the weather where you live?

Ran into North Carolina's Regional Teacher of the Year, Caesar Campana IV, yesterday out making a difference while making an impact.✊🏽 One thing that's for certain is being a teacher is one of the most underappreciated professions, not just in North Carolina but in the United States. Schools are under-funded and teachers are underpaid. Definitely made sure to let Caesar know how important his role is as an educator of 19 years, and how much of an honor it was meeting him. 🙏🏽 __ www.ambassadors4hope.com

Today was my first time doing full cleans since before Loyal was born. I honestly don’t recall the last time I was able to do them without some sort of modification. As you can see, the first few were all about finding my footing, literally! I feel good about pulling it together by the end of the working sets, especially with a little weight on the bar. This was exactly what I needed today. With being a full time single momma I get caught up in tending to Loyal, so having this hour dedicated to just me is helpful ...

We’re so proud of our @chefandthef who received @meredithcollege’s Woman of the Year Award this week.

We hear it’s going to make its way to Kinston sometime, and we’re already plotting where we can hang it. Congratulations, chef!

This precious angel is 22-months-old Torrance Adams. Torrance stopped breathing on February 14th and was transported to hospital. His mother said she received a call at work to rush home as her son was choking and not breathing. The paramedics resuscitated baby Torrance and he was taken to hospital where a CT scan discovered that he had sustained a skull fracture, causing a brain bleed, while in the care of his mother’s boyfriend, 23-year-old Michael Buchanan. Sadly, Torrance suffered a seizure while in hospital and he was unable to breathe on his own. On February 16th, Torrance passed away of ...

When they wake up fighting 😂🤦🏻‍♀️. I tell them to love each other and hug for 15 seconds. They’re back at it, but at least I got this cute picture. 😂 What do you do when your kids fight? Or even better, what did your Mom used to do or say when you fought with your siblings?

Groin Strain Rehab Progression! (Swipe Left to See Them!) . . . 🔑When rehabbing from a pulled groin muscle (adductors), it’s important to implement the right amount of stretching and strengthening to promote healing and come back from it as quickly as possible. —- 💎This post outlines a typical progression I follow for adductor strain rehab. —- ✅Levels 1 and 2 are variations of adductor isometrics. This means that the adductors are contracting but not changing length. A band pulling out on the leg works great for this. —- ✅Level 3 is focused on slowly introducing some dynamic mobility. I ...

Do you have a favorite movie? I totally thought I did, but as I got older it has changed so much. I remember when Michael and I first met asking each other about 10,000 questions on the phone as we slowly started slurring our words and our phones fell to the sides of our head before one of us started snoring. (jk….I don’t think I snore….). He definitely has a favorite movie. Its Master & Commander; I actually think his top choice is a pretty good one if you’ve never seen it and the soundtrack is BOMB.⠀ ⠀ Anyways, back ...

Cheers to the ones who have visions so big that no amount of negativity, distraction, rejection, or self doubt interferes. You are worthy of success. You are worthy of change. You are worthy of happiness. So next time you pick up that glass, don’t pick it up to drown out your stress. Choose better. Do better. Pick it up to celebrate your victories. . . . . .
